Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for Each Menactra® Vaccine Serogroups Pre-vaccination and 28 Days Post-booster or Post-primary Dose Vaccination. [ Time Frame: 28 days post-vaccination (5 years after Menactra® or Menomune® vaccination) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Persistence of Antibodies in Adolescents and Adults 15 to 23 Years Who Received One Dose of Menactra® or Menomune®

Official Title ICMJE

Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Adolescents and Adults Aged 15 to 23 Years Who Received a Single Dose of Menactra® or Menomune®-A/C/Y/W-135 Five Years Earlier

Brief Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in subjects aged 15 to 23 years (not yet 24 years) who had been vaccinated five years previously in Study MTA02 and did not participate in Study MTA19 (NCT 00777790). In addition, the kinetics of the antibody response will be evaluated in a subset of these participants who will receive a booster dose of Menactra® vaccine. This will be compared to aged matched control subjects who have not been previously vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine or had documented meningitis disease who will also receive a dose of Menactra® vaccine.

Participants had previously received a dose of Menactra® vaccine in Study MTA02,did not participate in Study MTA19 (NCT 00777790). They provided a pre-vaccination blood sample on Day 0, received one booster dose of Menactra® vaccine on Day 0 and provided 3 additional blood samples on Day 3, Day 7, and Day 28 post-vaccination.

Participants have never received Meningococcal vaccine and provided one blood sample pre-vaccination on Day 0, received a dose of Menactra® vaccine on Day 0, and provided 3 additional blood samples on Day 3, Day 7, and Day 28 post-vaccination.

Acute medical illness with or without fever within 72 hours or an oral temperature ≥ 100.4°F (≥ 38.0°C) at the time of inclusion

Administration of immune globulin, other blood products, or corticosteroid within 3 months of the study vaccine. Individuals on a tapering dose schedule of oral steroids lasting < 7 days may be included in the trial as long as they have not received more than one course within the last two weeks prior to enrollment.
